Just to make sure I understand, you mean I need to, 1) run startx (which for me launches fvwm) 2) start xterm from within fvwm 3) open the hidden file $HOME/.xinitrc and edit the xterm line 4) then try to run the X programs from within fvwm?
I was hoping to avoid using fvwm because it takes so long to load on a 486, let alone launch another program within fvwm. I waited a half an hour for a game to load -- don't want to do that again... Is there a way to launch x programs work from the command line instead? Andre p.s. I don't have a $HOME/.xinitrc nor a /usr/.xinitrc ===== Brant Wells wrote: >Howdy :) > >You need to start up a xterm session after you run startx.
